Group Health and Wellbeing Coaching
Together, we will explore:
Understanding the dimensions of wellness and assessing the status of it in one’s life
Developing individualized health vision and personal goals
Experiencing science-backed strategies for behavior change such as motivational interviewing
Receiving guidance on nutrition, movement, sleep, fitness, and overall well-being related to personal goals
Initiating the habit change process and developing sustainable new habits
Habit change happens over time and is key to avoiding and recovering from lifestyle related health challenges. The first 3-sessions of this course are weekly and the last three are bi-weekly to give support for a 3-month change process. To get the full benefit, participation in the full series is recommended.
